Spring native Batiste named Southland golfer of the month

Summer Batiste was named Southland Conference Golfer of the Month for February, the league office announced Wednesday.

Batiste, a senior from Spring, recorded a 74.166 stroke average and was UTSA’s top finisher in each of its first two tournaments of the spring season.

The Klein Collins product notched the first tournament victory of her career Tuesday at the Islanders Classic (Feb. 27-28) and helped the Roadrunners win two events in the same season for the first time in program history after claiming The Alamo Invitational crown in November.

The Roadrunners will be back in action March 16-18 at the Insperity Lady Jaguars Intercollegiate in Augusta, Ga.
